第1题：
It is often said that politeness costs nothing. In fact，it seems that a little more politeness could save businesses ￡5 billion every year. Frequently hearing the phrase“thank you”or“well done”means the same to staff as a modest pay rise.
Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs. In this way the business companies can save the cost of finding new employees. A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by a consulting firm said they did not get thanked at all when they did well-and a further third said they were not thanked enough. In both cases. staff said they felt undervalued，meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere.
The result of the survey shows that there would be around ￡5.2 billion loss in productivity if the employees felt less appreciated. According to the firm，praising staff has the same positive effect as a 1 per cent pay rise-and works out much cheaper for bosses. Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them，but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed.
The survey found that those in blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well. But it seems that they most need such praise.
In regional terms，Scottish staff felt most undervalued. Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise. However. workers in the North-East are less impressed by being praised by the boss，as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told“well done”regularly. Older employees and women need the most reassurance，according to psychologist Averil Leimon. She said that words of praise did more than creating a pleasant place to work-they could even promote profits.
The survey indicates that politeness could save businesses a huge amount of money every year because______.
A．politeness makes employees expect pay rise
B．politeness is less likely to make staff work harder
C．politeness helps employers find proper employees
D．politeness helps employers reduce the cost of staff employment
正确答案：D

第3题：
In 1959 Frederick Herzberg developed the Two-Factor theory of motivation. His research showed that certain factors were the true motivators or satisfiers. Hygiene factors, in contrast, created dissatisfaction if they were absent or inadequate. Dissatisfaction could be prevented by improvements in hygiene factors but these improvements would not alone provide motivation. Herzberg showed that to truly motivate an employee a business needs to create conditions that make him or her feel fulfilled in the workplace.
C Company aims to motivate its employees both by paying attention to hygiene factors and by enabling satisfiers. For example, it motivates and empowers its employees by appropriate and timely communication, by delegating responsibility and involving staff in decision making. It holds forums every year in which staff can be part of the discussions on pay rises. This shows recognition of the work people do and rewards them. The staff can even influence what food goes onto its restaurant menus. Employees thus become motivated to make choices that will increase their use of the restaurants.
What are the factors that make the employees feel motivated after they take part in the discussions on pay risesA.Work itself and responsibility
B.Relationship with co-workers and promotion
C.Recognition and achievement
D.Job security and growth答案：C解析：本题考查的是细节理解

Bthe actions of national and international power brokers have an important effect upon the decision made by the rural poor
Cthe actions of those with the highest fertility, the rural poor, ultimately determine the rate of population growth

第12题：
单选题It can be inferred from the passage that _____AImmigrants are prepared to work harder for less pay, which can stimulate the locals to work even harder.
BWith the increasing number of Diasporas, they will form a new nation in the world.
CThe number of skilled migrants returning home is increasing.
DThe networks of kinship and language contribute to international business by taking advantage of legal loopholes.
正确答案： A解析：
从文章第五段中可知“An increasing number go home, taking with them both knowledge and contacts”，因此C选项说要回国的技术移民数量正在增加是正确的。A选项后半句“which can stimulate the locals to work harder”文中没有提供相关线索，无法推断，因此A项不正确。文中第三段只是提到如果这些移民组成一个国家，这个国家将“a little larger than Brazil”，而B项后半句说这些移民将成立一个新国家是没有判断依据的，因此B项不正确。D项旨在考查对第四段“Trust matters, especially in emerging markets where the rule of law is weak”的理解。它是指信任很重要，特别是在新兴市场，通常法制薄弱。而D项由此推断这种“The networks of kinship and language”通过利用法律漏洞来促进国际商务贸易是不正确的。 -

第18题：
问答题Passage 7 ● Read the article below about the importance of hiring right people. ● Choose the correct word to fill each gap from A, B or C on the opposite page. ● For each question 29-40, mark one letter (A, B, or C) on your Answer Sheet.Hiring: Do You Know How Important to Pick Them? Your small business is growing, the market has a need (29)______ your product, and you’re recruiting employees to expand your business. What could possibly (30)______ wrong? The answer is, a lot, (31)______ you don’t hire the right people. One of the differences between businesses that boom and (32)______ that limp along is good employees. Obviously, your talent as an entrepreneur has a lot to do (33)______ the success of your business, but you (34)______ only go so far by yourself. You must find good employees, figure out (35)______ motivates them, and then place them into the right position. Hiring employees is (36)______ and requires a lot of patience and energy. You have to resist the temptation to fill the job quickly with one of the first few (37)______ who come along or (38)______ someone who is only sufficient (39)______ you want to stop (40)______ and get back to your business. 29. A for B to C in 30. A leave B come C go 31. A Although B if C but 32. A these B those C they 33. A on B in C with 34. A can B ought C shall 35. A what B that C which 36. A time-consume B time-consumed C time-consuming 37. A person B people C peoples 38. A hire B hires C hiring 39. A so B because C while 40. A interviews B interview C interviewing正确答案： 29.A “need”在“has”后面作名词的表达是“have a need for sth.”,意思是“需要某物”,所以A项正确。
30.C “go wrong”的意思是“出错,出问题”,这里的“go”作系动词。“leave”和“come”都是实义动词,形容词不能跟在其后作表语。因此C项正确。
31.B 对本题的三个选项进行分析可知,空格处所缺的词是关联词。“although”可以引导让步状语从句;“but”后面的句子应该与其前面的句子形成转折关系;“if”则是引导条件状语从句的。将这三个选项应用到原句发现A、C项会造成句子的逻辑不通。因此B项正确。
32.B 通过上下文看出空格所在句的语法结构是本题的解题关键。首先,空格处所缺的词作句子中“between”的宾语,因此选项“they”可以被排除。其次,由于“and”连接的并列结构,所以“(32)______that limp along”与之前的“businesses that boom”的句子结构是一样的,代表/表示“businesses”的词应该是空格处的单词。虽然“these”和“those”都是指示代词,指代提到的复数性名词,“those”指代将要提到的,而“these”一般指代前面提到过的。在本文章中,前面提到的蓬勃发展的“businesses”不是空格处的词需要指代的,而是将要提到的艰难前行的“businesses”才是指代的内容,所以要用“those”。因此B项正确。
33.C 固定短语“have something to do with” 是本题考查的内容,意思是“与…有关”。 “a lot”,“little”,“nothing”等词可以替换该短语中的“something”一词,表示不同的意思:“have a lot to do with”意思是“与…有很大关系”,“have little to do with”的意思是“与…几乎没有关系”,“have nothing to do with” 的意思是“与…没有任何关系”。因此C项正确。
34.A 情态动词的用法本题考查的内容。“can”意思是“能够”;“ought”必须与“to”连用,意思是“应该”;“shall”也表示“应该”,但要跟在“I”或“we”的后面。根据上下文的意思,应该选择表示“能够”而不是“应该”之意的词,所以A项正确。
35.A 关系代词的用法是本题考查的内容。这里figure out的宾语是空格处所缺的词与其后面的“motivates them”构成的从句,而且空格处的词在其引导的从句中充当主语。虽然that、which和what这三个选项都能引导宾语从句,但是当引导词既要作从句的主语而且不表示具体的意思时,就只能填what,因为“what”做引导词时意思与“the thing(s)that”相同;that、which不能体现这个意思。因此A项正确。
36.C “time-consuming”的意思是“费时的,耗时的”,因此C项正确。
37.B 根据空格后面的“who come along”这个定语从句中的谓语动词的形式可以判断,空格处的词应该是单数形式但意思表示的是复数概念的名词或可数名词的复数形式,所以可以排除“person”文章在这里谈论的是如何选人,“people”是个表复数概念的名词,但是其复数形式“peoples”的意思是“各民族”,所以应排除“peoples”。因此B项正确。
38.A 由于“or”连接两个并列的句子,所以前面的“to fill the job quickly with one of the first few people who come along”和后面的“…someone who is only sufficient”句子结构应该一样,这里是与“to”构成不定式,修饰“temptation”,因此,动词原形应该是正确的形式。所以A项正确。
39.B 根据文章最后一段的第一句话可知,句子“you want to stop…and get back to your business”是表明这样做的原因,而非结果,所以可以排除“so”。“while”表示“而”,表示两个动作的对比。因此表示原因的B项正确。
40.C 根据上下文的意思可知,这里是停止面试而回去工作,“stop doing sth.”的意思是“停止做某事”,所以C项正确。解析： 暂无解析 -

DIn the US, July 1 is a day of celebration for hospital staff, nurses and patients.
正确答案： A解析：
推理判断题。录音首句提到“…that starting July 1 for the very first time, medicare will cover tests and education for Americans with diabetes”，表明从七月一日起，美国糖尿病患者的检查和教育首次被纳入医疗保险之中。可推断出，在此之前，美国医疗保保险不包括对糖尿病患者的检查和教育。因此选项A表达内容与录音原文相符。
【录音原文】

With this announcement today, the 20 percent of older Americans with diabetes will be able to take preventive steps to help them and their families avoid the pain and loss that can come when this disease is undetected and untreated. -

正确答案： A解析：
首段第三句提到电影最早于1896开始公开播放，而该段倒数第三句指出早在1896年，新发明的gramophone（留声机）就被作为音响系统使用，可知留声机和电影几乎同时出现。D项中的moving pictures指的就是电影，因此该项正确。
